Sports and other time-wasters

Some readers may wonder whether I have anything to say about the sports pages. In a word, no. I don't read 'em, and I'm not interested in what happens there. If you're a regular fan and would like to report on them, I'll sign you up as an author. To me sports coverage is a complete waste of space.

Same goes for commercial press releases (can you spot them in the current issue?), thank-yous for sponsoring our (your nonprofit event here), ribbon-cuttings, advice columns, religion and other advertising disguised as features.

I wouldn't mind the comics if any of them were amusing in the slightest. (sigh)

No comments:

Post a Comment

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:

There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.

If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.

If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
